The Another Latest Review Of Sony Xperia 10 Budget Smartphone
Sony
has never been as good at making mid-range smartphones as competitors like other
smartphones, but the company's goal is to change it with the new Xperia 10 and
Xperia 10 Plus.
If
you regularly watch movies and videos on your phone, Sony will think this is
your phone. While the upcoming Xperia 1 may have the best screen on a
smartphone, with 4K HDR OLED technology, this is a full HD display with an
aspect ratio of 21:9.

However,
this is undoubtedly a mid-range mobile phone. It may have a unique aspect
ratio, but it also has a low-end chipset and some medium specifications - so
how is the overall package formed?

Xperia 10 Release Date And Price
If
you live in the UK, you can buy Xperia 10 now, and users in the US can buy it
on March 18. We don't currently have an Australian release date, but we hope
this phone will land in the near future.
If
your budget can be extended, the Xperia 10 Plus is priced at £349/$429.99
(about 650 Australian dollars). Then the Xperia 1, which was launched later
this year, costs £849 (about $1,110 or $1,550).
Display
The
screen on the Xperia 10 is not as impressive as the one on the Xperia 1, but
that's because it's a more affordable phone. That is, when you first see Xperia
10, it still surprises you - and in a good way.
It
is a full HD + 6-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 21:9. This means that the
display is higher than the existing smartphone, and the idea here is that when
you flip it into landscape, it will provide the best size display for watching
videos, viewing photos or playing games.
If
you're watching a movie from a particular streaming service, it makes sense
because it fits well with the display and there are no distracting black bars
on either side.
Sony
said that almost 70% of Netflix's movies are dedicated to a 21:9 aspect ratio,
while other streaming services such as Amazon and Sony's own movie store offer
21:9 content.
Don't
expect all the movies and TV shows you see to be perfectly presented in this
format. Most TV shows are shot at 16:9, so when we watch The Office's episode,
they will have thick black bars on each side of the display.
This
is to be expected, but there are another frustrating factor in the different
aspect ratios: black bars mean that the content on the screen is not at the
center. The top of the phone has a thick bezel, which means it is slightly off
center when the video is playing. You can see what we mean in the image below:
We
looked at the movie Hereditary on the Online video - this is a relatively new
service upload when we wrote this comment - but it was not available in 21:9.
Design
Considering
its price, the Sony Xperia 10 feels very high-end, with a metal back on the
front of the glass, and it feels great - if you are looking for a reasonably
priced device, this is also a good choice.
As
we mentioned, this is a tall mobile phone with a size of 156 x 68 x 8.4mm and a
slim handle; 162 grams is also relatively light.
We
imagine that if your hand is getting smaller and smaller, it is difficult to
reach the top of the display with one hand using a mobile phone. That's why
Sony brings Side Sense to your phone, which you can read in the software
section below.
There
is a fingerprint scanner on the right side of the phone. If you are
right-handed, your thumb can be easily clicked - if you are left-handed, you
may find it hard to reach.
The
camera sticks a little from the back of the phone, but that's not what might
bother you.
It
may not have the best quality design, but given how much you will spend on the
Xperia 10, we are impressed with the phone.
